Do no weld you stock diff unless you plan on trailering your car too and from the strip and only running it on the strip. you can either install a CTR/ITR LSD or an aftermarket one, or as you said buy a JDM LSD tranny, any of those 3 would be good options, welding, not so much.

yeah i would definitely not weld the stock diff. It will be a head ache if you daily drive your car. What kind of driving do you do? Is this a daily driven car?

You wouldn't be able to turn your car in a tight spot like a parking space if you welded them together. Have you ever tried driving an SUV with the 4X4 feature turned on? If you're making a sharp turn, both wheels will try to spin at the same speed which is a NO NO!

You can turn with welded diffs, it will be a little rough and will chirp the tires. Welded diffs need solid mounts. I would never recommend it though. Every trans I've rebuilt that had a welded diff, needed a new diff as the welded diff failed.
